CBRE, Dallas, reported investors plan to allocate more capital to healthcare real estate, highlighting rising confidence in the asset class.
The healthcare property type includes life sciences real estate, medical office buildings and ambulatory service centers.
A CBRE survey found most investors (85 percent) now consider healthcare real estate “recession-resistant,” up from 80 percent who held this view last year. Nearly 85 percent said they plan to be net buyers of healthcare assets this year. So far in 2022, investors have allocated 57 percent more capital to healthcare real estate compared to the same period in 2021.
